It's possible that some episodes were cut for technical, rather than story, reasons. TCW, especially in the earlier seasons, was produced on a distinctly less than limitless budget and was also constrained by what the animators were actually capable of making happen. They got consistently better over time, which is why each season looks better than the last, but there were still clearly limits. I wouldn't be surprised if an arc or two each season ended up loosely scripted but dropped at the test stage because the animators came back and said 'this sounds awesome, but we can't make any promises.'
